4514 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220
The 3-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 4514 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, owned by Humberto Sanchez, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most concerning are the recent health-related incidents, including multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints in 2024 related to food establishment conditions and food poisoning, as well as a rodent problem that was only recently resolved in October 2024. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2021 and 2020, including emergency complaints for the entire building.
There are substantial ongoing maintenance issues documented through Housing Maintenance Code Violations, particularly in Apartment 1, where violations remain open as of 2022-2024, including problems with water leaks, flooring, and bathroom fixtures. The building's exterior and structural integrity have been a concern, with documented issues regarding the cornice and facade. Notable events include multiple Emergency Control Board violations from 2021 regarding loose and deteriorated cornice (with penalties totaling $10,625), structural cracks, and a period of building shaking and debris concerns in March 2021.
The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to file required annual bedbug reports in 2021-2024, active as of 2024. While the building has undergone some inspections and received various closures of complaints, many violations remain open, particularly regarding maintenance items from 2022-2024. The recent history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, with multiple instances requiring emergency responses from housing oversight agencies.
